Very tricky question given to you that this user should not belongs to sysadmin group.

Reference / correct answer:

1. vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

anonymous_enable=no

2. service vsftpd restart

/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file is used to allow or deny to anonymous or real user. To allow anonymous anonymous_enable=yes should be there. Sample configuration is like.

# Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).

anonymous_enable=YES

#

# Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.

local_enable=YES

#

# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.

write_enable=YES

#

# Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,

# if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)

local_umask=022

#

# Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only

# has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will

# obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.

#anon_upload_enable=YES

#

# Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create

# new directories.

#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES

#

# Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they

# go into a certain directory.

dirmessage_enable=YES

#

# Activate logging of uploads/downloads.

xferlog_enable=YES

#

# Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).

connect_from_port_20=YES

#

# If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by

# a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not

# recommended!

#chown_uploads=YES

#chown_username=whoever

#

# You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown

# below.

#xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log

#

# If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format

xferlog_std_format=YES

#

# You may change the default value for timing out an idle session.

#idle_session_timeout=600

#

# You may change the default value for timing out a data connection.

#data_connection_timeout=120

#

# It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the

# ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user.

#nopriv_user=ftpsecure

#

# Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not

# recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it,

# however, may confuse older FTP clients.

#async_abor_enable=YES

#

# By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore

# the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII

# mangling on files when in ASCII mode.

# Beware that turning on ascii_download_enable enables malicious remote parties

# to consume your I/O resources, by issuing the command "SIZE /big/file" in

# ASCII mode.

# These ASCII options are split into upload and download because you may wish

# to enable ASCII uploads (to prevent uploaded scripts etc. from breaking),

# without the DoS risk of SIZE and ASCII downloads. ASCII mangling should be

# on the client anyway..

#ascii_upload_enable=YES

#ascii_download_enable=YES

#

# You may fully customise the login banner string:

#ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service.

#

# You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently

# useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.

#deny_email_enable=YES

# (default follows)

#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails

#

# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home

# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of

# users to NOT chroot().

#chroot_list_enable=YES

# (default follows)

#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

#

# You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by

# default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large

# sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume

# the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.

#ls_recurse_enable=YES

pam_service_name=vsftpd

userlist_enable=YES

#enable for standalone mode

listen=YES

tcp_wrappers=YES

Reference / correct answer:

1. vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]

netbios name=station?

workgroup = mygroup

server string=Share from Linux Server

security=user

smb passwd file=/etc/samba/smbpasswd

encrypt passwords=yes

hosts allow=192.168.0.

[data]

path=/data

writable=yes

public=no

browsable=yes

2. service smb start| restart

3. chkconfig smb on

Samba servers helps to share the data between linux and windows. Configuration file is /etc/samba/smb.conf. There are some pre-defined section, i. global  use to define the global options, ii. Printers  use to share the printers, iii. homes  use to share the user’s home directory.

Security=user  validation by samba username and password. May be there are other users also. To allow certain share to certain user we should use valid users option.

smbpasswd  Helps to change user’s smb password. –a option specifies that the username following should be added to the local smbpasswd file.

If any valid users option is not specified, then all samba users can access the shared data. By Default shared permission is on writable=no means read only sharing. Write list option is used to allow write access on shared directory to certain users or group members.

To allow access the shared directory only from certain network or hosts, there is a option hosts allow= host or network. If this option is applied on global option, then it will apply to all shared directory.
